Do I still need Google Analytics?

Not by default. Plausible or a similar light tool will answer “where did they come from and what did they read?” For paid media attribution, you may still need something heavier.

What should a monthly report include?

Top pages, referrers, one or two goals, and a sentence about what you will change. Vanity charts without a next step are decoration.

How do I track a directory click?

On Unloc, outbound clicks are counted when someone uses our go-links. On your own site, a simple event on the CTA is enough.

Who this is for

Marketers and product people who need a monthly answer — where they came from, what they read — not a theme park of charts. Start with privacy-respecting analytics. Add heavier attribution only when you are actually spending on ads.
